.

I had forgotten the date,if not mistaken,I had been there on the 2nd weekends at China.With a history of more than 2,500 years, the Huqiu has been known as No. 1 Sight of Suzhou. It is a must for tourists. The great Song literary man Su Dongpo said, "It would be a pity if you had been to Suzhou but didn't get to visit the Huqiu." We took a taxi to HuQiu which costed about 30rmb because this place located quite a distance from our apartment.

The Yunyan Temple Pagoda and the Sword Pool are most famous on the hill. With a history going back more than 1,000 years, the simple, archaic and imposing Yunyan Temple Pagoda, also known as the Second Leaning Tower on earth, stands aloft at the top of the hill, serving as a symbol of ancient Suzhou for years. The leaning tower is totally amazing! The HuQiu is also a suitable place for art students to have their drawing session there as I saw their fantastic drawing by using a PENCIL only. =) Well, I love the scenery there.
